I ran an interfooler for a few weeks while waiting on the last two pipes from BEGi.

I was trying to install everything I could before actually slapping the turbo on, so I mounted the intercooler and capped it off.

I seem to remember someone acting like they wanted to race when they spotted it, but don't recall the situation.

I had a Cherry Bomb axle-back on my '93 Mercury Topaz back in '03.

A+ for quoting myself.

Pics of my cooldude CAI bitches.


Yeah I had to remove the COPs. The car doesn't like to start in the cold weather with them.

Pic of my even cooler exhaust baffle I whipped up one day with scrap metal. The car is SO LOUD and raspy with no turbo. I hate it. 2" pipe goes inside the 3" tailpipe about 6" and is wrapped with steel wool. Works surprisingly well.

We all lol at this, but I get the feeling that one day we're all going to have to install silencers so that we don't get arrested for people thinking we have whistle tips.

Fake sunroofs. Saw an ebay ad recently that had these listed as a Miata part. LOL

Blue headlight bulbs count as fake in my book.
